Legalize Marijuana in 2012? It Could Happen In 3 States
Colorado, Oregon and Washington eye a new cash cow. A catchy pro-marijuana jingle for Colorado voters considering legalizing the drug goes like this: "Jobs for our people. Money for schools.

Gary North: 100 Percent Chance That U.S. Will Default
There is good reason to prepare for a catastrophe. It is not often that readers get a clear-cut choice between two forecasts. Most forecasts have wiggle room. Not the following. 1.

John Stossel: I Like Gary Johnson
Choosing against governmental coercion. All political candidates call themselves freedom-lovers, but they are not. Neither major party really opposes government control of the economy or of our personal lives.

Thomas Sowell: The Great Tax Divide
JFK and John Maynard Keynes both knew it. There was a time when Democrats and Republicans alike could talk sense about tax rates, in terms of what is best for the economy, without demagoguery about "tax cuts for the rich." Democratic presidents Woodrow Wilson and John F. Kennedy spoke plainly about the fact that higher tax rates on ... MORE
